"Ménageot, François-Guillaume
(b London, 9 July 1744; d Paris, 4 Oct 1816). French painter and costume designer. He went to Paris in about 1759 and entered the Académie des Beaux-Arts, where his teacher was François Boucher. He was awarded the Prix de Rome for painting in 1766. After five years in Rome, where he was a fellow student of Jean-Simon Berthélémy at the Académie de France, he returned to Paris in 1774. He subsequently had a brilliant career as a painter. On 4 April 1785 he joined the administrative committee of the Opéra, and became assistant to the architect Pierre-Adrien Pâris, chief stage designer at the theatre, and to Louis-René Boquet, the costume designer. When Ménageot was appointed professor at the Académie de France in Rome, and then its director, he resigned his post at the Opéra, vacating it in September 1787 in favour of his friend Berthélémy. He left Rome in 1793, stayed in Italy for some time, and resumed his post of professor at the Ecole Nationale de Peinture in Paris in about 1801. […]"
